Angels re-signed OF Shane Robinson to a minor league contract.

Robinson elected to become a free agent after being outrighted off the Angels' 40-man roster last week, but he didn't last long on the open market. The 32-year-old will continue to function as organizational outfield depth for Anaheim. Robinson, 32, hit 173/.257/.235 in 111 plate appearances this past year for the Halos. Nov 22 - 6:13 PM

Robinson had the ability to opt for free agency after being outrighted off the 40-man roster on Monday. The 32-year-old batted just .173/.257/.235 over 111 plate appearances this season. He'll likely have to settle for a spring training invite somewhere. Nov 16 - 1:17 PM

Robinson has cleared waivers after being removed from the 40-man roster last week. The outfielder is a career .228/.295/.301 hitter over parts of seven big league seasons. Nov 14 - 8:24 PM

Angels designated OF Shane Robinson for assignment.

The move clears a spot for Andrew Bailey's return to the 40-man roster. Robinson, 32, batted just .173/.257/.235 over 111 plate appearances this season. He was an obvious non-tender candidate this winter. Nov 9 - 1:16 PM

Albert Pujols underwent successful surgery on Friday to release his right plantar fascia.

The surgery was performed by Dr. Robert Anderson in North Carolina. The typical recovery time for this surgery is estimated at four months, which will impact his availability early in spring training as well as his regular off-season routine. This news should push Pujols down a couple of rounds in early fantasy drafts.

Angels manager Mike Scioscia said that the team will not overwork Garrett Richards (elbow) in 2017.

Richards underwent stem cell treatment for a tear in his ulnar collateral ligament in May, ending his season at that very early juncture. He is expected to be ready for spring training, but the Angels are going to be reasonably cautious as the season unfolds. Said Scioscia, "You’re not going to see Garrett throwing 220 innings next year. I hate to put a floor on (the innings) and have to get into a range right now, but I can tell you that we are going to be very, very careful with where Garrett is and make sure that he rebounds and maintains his stuff." Richards has pitched more than 170 innings just once in his big league career.

Cam Bedrosian underwent surgery Tuesday on the embolus in his right armpit.

Embolus is the scientific term for a blood clot. Bedrosian is expected to be able to resume full baseball activities in 6-8 weeks, so he should enter spring training next February at 100 percent health. The 24-year-old right-hander finished the 2016 season with a stellar 1.12 ERA and 51/14 K/BB ratio in 40 1/3 innings.
